Pete Postlethwaite, once described by Steven Spielberg as "probably the best actor in the world", has died from cancer. He was 64.

Well shit :(

One of those rare actors who was completely believable every time he appeared on screen, even as a white dude with an Indian accent and a Japanese name in The Usual Suspects.

I just saw this on the news-crawl and came right here. Yeah, very authentic.
Brassed Off is the movie where I remember him best.

I thought he looked gaunt and sickly in The Town. Shame.

Such character, such presence on screen.

RIP

Whew. When I saw the title I thought Sean Connery died for some reason.

Man, sad news indeed. I'll always remember him primarily as Keyser Soze's right hand man.
